Boy Meets World (season 3)

A new school year has started. Eric continues to worry about college, so he signs up for the Film Club, and must sell tickets to an unpopular film. Meanwhile, Cory has his heart set on asking Topanga out, but he cannot get the nerve to do so. Unfortunately, his reluctance costs him when Shawn informs him that he has already asked her out. However, this turns out to be a set-up for Cory and Topanga to become a couple.

Note: Cory's voice is now much deeper than it was in the previous seasons.

Shawn has a hot date for the weekend, but those plans are quickly derailed when Jonathan tells Shawn that he'll be out of town for the weekend. However, Shawn refuses to break off his date, and ends up taking her to Jonathan's apartment – where he finds a big surprise.

When Cory tells Topanga "I love you", he earns the ill will of nearly everyone he knows; Shawn and Eric know that every girl in the school will now expect to hear those same three words. But, more importantly, Topanga also seems very upset about it, and decides to break things off with Cory with no explanation.

Shawn takes the new guidance counselor's advice too literally, and decides to run away to Europe. One-time school bully Harley Keiner returns from reform school to face-off with his replacement, Griff.

Eric is having aspirations of attending Yale. Will Feeny support this insane endeavor? Meanwhile, Shawn decides to keep an abandoned pig as a pet, but Topanga feels that an apartment is not a proper environment for a hog. Will Cory side with his best friend or his girlfriend?

Guest Star: Richard Karn as Victor/Animal Control Officer

Eric and Cory decide to throw a rave, but they pick the worst possible date to have a party: the same day as their parents' 20th wedding anniversary. The Monkees' Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, and Peter Tork guest star as Gordy, Reginald, and Jedidiah.

While Topanga is sick, Cory becomes the object of a pretty girl's insistent affections. Will he give in to temptation? Meanwhile, Eric spends his money in a get-rich-quick scheme. Does he have a piece of valuable baseball memorabilia, or just a piece of junk?

Cory and Shawn sneak off to Mr. Feeny's mountain cabin for a weekend of fun, but as to be expected, they're caught in the act. Meanwhile, Eric and Frankie engage in a marathon billiards match.

Feeling uncomfortably domesticated, Cory forsakes a date with Topanga for a "boys' night out" at another school's party, and is mistaken for Shawn – an error he fails to correct when he sees how popular it makes him. However, Cory is surprised to find that he's not the only one there pretending to be someone else.

Mr. Feeny asks Cory and Shawn to take school tough-guy Frankie under their wing, and they discover his reputation makes the younger students their willing slaves. Also, Jonathan's wealthy ex-girlfriend re-enters his life.

At Shawn's urging, Cory re-enters the dating world, but he cannot bring himself to kiss his date, Melissa, because he's still in love with Topanga – but she's too busy locking lips with another guy.

Cory's classmates are antagonized by Mr. Feeny's harsh exam schedule, and decide to retaliate by vandalizing his home. Meanwhile, Eric dates an older woman, whom his mother was hoping to fix up with Mr. Turner.

Cory gets a shock when a microwave mishap transports him back to the 1950s, where his post-Cold War knowledge of Russian space experiments gets him mistaken for a spy.

Cory cannot keep his mind off Topanga, and tries to woo her by following her to Walt Disney World, but Topanga becomes angry because she believes he traveled all that way for another girl, Kristen.

Cory dreads his upcoming summer vacation when he realizes that Topanga's going to camp, Shawn's traveling with his father, and Eric's leaving for college – until he receives a letter stating that he didn't get into his college of choice.
